COP PTSD

A recurring theme among this year's class is that not only are the classes hard enough to traumatize you on their own merits, the grading scales are designed to make the class seem insurmountable as well. The perfect example is law, where "Law Math" dictates that getting 3 correct answers out of 4 constitutes a grade of 50%. You see, we round down to the nearest 50%.

"I'm not here to debate my crazyass grading with ya..."

Of course this is further compounded by the fact that 90% isn't even an A, 80% isn't a B, and when we collectively excel on an exam we're told that he's going to change the way he writes exam.


Mr. James, due to your newfound success we regrettably inform you that we're raising the rim to 12 feet.

But then there's lab, where if you make a small error you automatically make a 70%. and if the error is deemed large enough you automatically get a 0% -- no gray area: Perfect, C, or Zero. Because remember fellas: Lab is just like the real motherfuckin' world!

Disclaimer: Lab is not in fact like the real motherfuckin' world if you want to use real world techniques, real world calculators, real world shortcuts, or have real world self esteem.

Real motherfuckin' awesome:
